The company said there will be no impact on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or any other meta service in the country or threads in other countries.

“We are taking steps to minimize disruption to people using Threads in Turkey,” Meta said in a statement.

People who use Threads will be notified of this decision within the app before the April 29 deadline.

"People using Threads in Turkey can choose whether to deactivate but not delete their Threads profile, or delete their profile," the company said.

People with inactive profiles can download their posts at any time through our Download Your Information tool and preserve the existing content, meta mentions in the blog post.

The regulator recently issued an interim order banning data sharing between Threads and Instagram.

"We disagree with the interim order, we believe we are complying with all of Turkey's legal requirements and we will appeal," Meta said.
